Dear Editor:
REALLY, ANN? SERIOUSLY?
I've been following Ann's Musings in the San Saba news recently. Really Ann! You're worried that 4% of Americans think it's going to take violence to preserve our American way of life. Then, you call the Capitol riot an insurrection. Ann, the biggest city in my state of Minnesota suffered untold millions of dollars in damages. People were injured and killed. A police precinct was burned to the ground. Why? Because some people not only think violence is a means to get their way, they actually engaged in it! They used the George Floyd incident to justify their lawless deeds. George Floyd was a bad actor, continually breaking God's Law and man's laws. He once stuck a gun in the stomach of a pregnant woman according to reports. He had numerous confrontations with law enforcement. Finally, he ran into another bad actor. Derek Chauvin. Now he's dead and Chauvin's life is ruined.
Funny how you're so obsessed with the incident on January 6th, but apparently oblivious to the real insurrection going on all last summer in many American cities, almost all managed by Democrats. Did the Capitol rioters burn police cars, throw bricks at law enforcement, burn and loot businesses? NO! An unarmed woman was shot and killed by a Capitol police officer who is enjoying anonymity and protection from investigation. All the while we were told a lie by the press that another Capitol police officer was bludgeoned to death by the “rioters” only to find out he died of underlying health issues. So Ann, what am I supposed to think when you obsess over a small incident and ignore the real violence happening across this land? The Apostle Peter called people like you “willfully ignorant” of the truth. You shield your eyes and mind from the truth while pushing an agenda for people who want to destroy our freedoms in the name of equity.
You also claim you love data. Well, Ann, did you know more unarmed white males are killed by police than any other ethnic group? Do you know that according to research our climate has changed very little, if at all, even though carbon dioxide levels have increased significantly? Did you know that under cover recordings have caught CNN executives slapping themselves on the back for defeating Trump by scaring people with Covid misinformation, and now that the pandemic is waning their next “goal” is to scare the public about climate change?
You know, Ann, I think you write these things because you want to provoke conservatives, Christians and the like. Then again, I believe you said you were a teacher which would also explain a lot. I, myself also completed teacher certification in college and had to endure the political indoctrination which permeated the curriculum. You said you like to read, Ann? You should read the book by Samuel L. Blumenfeld, “N.E.A. Trojan Horse in American Education” where he documents the largest teacher's union's plans to become the biggest force in American politics and their plan to indoctrinate our children into their ideology. We are seeing the fruits of their labor in full force today. The NEA locking our children out of school, imposing a ridiculous mask policy on them and defying parental authority by forcing our children to endure propaganda such as Critical Race Theory and bringing Transgender Activists into our elementary schools and libraries. Thank God parents are waking up and voicing their opposition at the school board meetings. If people are smart enough, the 2022 elections will see a massive influx of new patriotic blood into our Constitutional Republic. And you know what the best thing about it is? Many of these new conservative candidates are black, brown, women, gay, etc. People who finally are realizing that the party they were told all their lives that is for them is actually oppressing them! I only hope it's not to late!
